What else can I help you with?
What mineral is stable at earths surface?
Quartz is a mineral that is stable at Earth's surface due to its chemical composition and resistance to weathering processes.
What is the definition of earths processes?
A process in which the Earth changes.
How does weathering and erosion shape earths surface?
Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations. Over time, these processes can create features like valleys, canyons, and coastlines, shaping the Earth's surface.
What is the process that breaks up rock on earths surface?
Weathering is the process that breaks up rocks on Earth's surface. This can occur through physical processes like freezing and thawing, as well as chemical processes like acid rain and oxidation. Over time, weathering can break down rocks into smaller particles and ultimately contribute to soil formation.
The single most important agent sculpting earths land surface is?
Water, through processes such as erosion, transportation, and deposition.
How will three processes act together to wear down and build up earths surface?
d
What is processes that break down rock at earths surface?
Denudational processes, which includes, weathering, erosion, deformation, and exfoliation. Mass movement also plays a great role in changing the earths surface.
What processes do scientist infer to have shaped earths surface in the past?
The shifting of Tectonic Plates.
How is an earhquake started?
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
What is the processes that break down rock at earth surface?
Denudational processes, which includes, weathering, erosion, deformation, and exfoliation. Mass movement also plays a great role in changing the earths surface.
Can you describe the process that wears down and builds up the earths surface?
weathering, erosion, deposition, and uplift
What gets created by the physical processes that change Earths surface by pushing its crust up or wearing it down?
Water
What is the geologic principle that the same geologic processes that operate today operated in the past to change Earths surface?
uniformitarianism
How do covergent boundary plates affect earths surface?
The tectonic plates combined together
What mineral is stable at earths surface?
Quartz is a mineral that is stable at Earth's surface due to its chemical composition and resistance to weathering processes.
Describe two things water might do to change the earths surface in Colorado?
soften the surface and create earthquakes. another version of the grand canyon
What term is used to describe the part of the earths surface covered by water?
answer it yourself yo dum dum.
